Weigh Ins?

How/where does everyone weigh in? Do any of you meet up and do a "group" weigh in or is it just alone with the bathroom scales and update on here?

I will weigh in at home on Monday morning each week but just interested in how everyone else does it. :smile:

    I do it at home, then report it in the "check in" tab. or whatever that little tab is (sorry im tired)

    I weigh in whenever I feel like I need that motivation or accountability. Sometimes its 2x/wk, sometimes its 1x/month

    I weigh in every Tuesday morning, as soon as I get up (but after going to the bathroom).

    Keep it consistent - wear nothing, every time!

    I started MFP on Thursday so thats when I weigh in, first thing in the morning. More important to me is how my clothes and uniform fit, that's the true result of what I am doing. If you add weights to your exercise actual weight loss will be slower because muscle is heavier then fat but your figure will slim.

    I weigh in every Monday morning like you :smile: . I get up, make myself a cup of tea, go to the loo (:embarassed: ), and then weigh myself. I make sure that I wear the same every week as well (my special 'weigh in' pyjamas). I try to only weigh once a week, but I do sometimes sneak a peek mid way through the week :glasses:

    I do it on Thursdays, until my days off change.

    lol at the weigh in pj's! I am trying not to weigh myself every day but I know I will! I am going to measure myself tonight as well as when I did this last year my measurements went down a lot quicker than my weight and that always makes me feel better.

    Good luck everyone!

    Every day, second thing in the morning (right after taking my resting blood pressure/heart rate).

    Up until this week I weighed in at home on a Wednesday morning. I joined a local slimming group last night and from now on I'll get weighed on Mondays at 5pm, I've asked my hubby to hide our scales so that I'm not tempted to do mid week weigh ins. I also have a group of online friends for support on facebook in a secret group for motivation.

    Jingly, I have 2 friends on FB who are doing similar to me and we are trying to keep each other motivated and give support, I think that plays a massive part in sticking to it. I did SW before but now I have children I find it easier doing it this way. See if I can still say that in a months time!

    Good luck with the slimming group.

    I'm a Monday morning girl too - after the loo, before breakfast and naked. I try not to peek during the week, but sometimes I've been so good I can't help it! :)

    Saturday morning weigh in for me. It helps me not to blow it on Fridays with the thought of a weigh in the next day. :-)

    I weigh in every morning. The scale is right there in front of me and I just jump on after going the bathroom every morning.

    I use my home scale to keep on track but have been part of a Weight Watchers meeting since November. That is where I weigh in on Thursday mornings.

    Me exactly! I don't post my weight here daily but I do consult my my magic white box every morning! For me it's a daily reminder of what I'm trying to accomplish. I know it will fluctuate from day to day and that's ok. It keeps me focused. Normally I post on Sunday and Wednesday.

    Hi Jayne

    I get weighed once a month by the nurse at my local GP surgery, and I'd really recommend it, it's been a massive motivation! I just had a chat with her when I took Jakey in for his 3 month jabs and said I'd like some help losing weight and she's been a great support.

    Knowing I've got someone else looking at the scales is a huge incentive to keep at it! And I think once a month is good as your weight can be so up and down throughout the month with cycles etc that it can be a bit disheartening I think if the scales haven't moved from one week to the next.

    I'd also recommend measuring yourself too - you can change the default things to measure on here - I do boobs, hips, waist, neck, arms and thighs

    I weigh in on Saturday morning at home and log online. I used to weigh on Monday, but changed to the start of the weekend hoping it would keep me from overeating. I figure if I have lost weight by Saturday knowing that will help me be good all weekend so I don't over eat. So far it is working!

    I weigh on Saturday nights at work. Since I work in a nursing home, we have Dr office type scales.

    I weigh in every Saturday morning on the same scale. Even if it's off by a pound or two, using the same scale, placed in the exact same position on the floor will still accurately reflect the correct number of pounds lost...

    Thanks for all the replies and good luck for your next weigh ins!

    I jumped on the scales this morning as so far I've lost 2lb in 2 days so will be very happy if that continues.

    I weigh in every Sunday night with my housemate, and we do measurements every 3 weeks. Soon, though, I'll be weighing in on Friday afternoons as well. My work is starting a Biggest Loser challenge in July and I've entered. Last year I came second after losing just under 15kg, and this year I really want to win!! I'm not looking forward to the different scales though - I like my ones!!!

    Every morning for me at home .... also have a sneaky look at night which I know is a bit like I have a compulsive disorder but I find it really helps me just see what's happening with my body.
